Slow and Steady

This is the third week working with my ukulele student at Etnestine's. She is thoughtful and dedicated. She is very quiet and I have worried that I am not connecting with her. I love hearing my students talk about their lives and at today's lesson my student started to share. I am so grateful she felt comfortable to chat with me about school. She shared that she has ADHD and I shared that I do too. She was very glad to know this. She got a big smile and started to ask questions about learning to read. I was thrilled that we could have this conversation while colouring together. Having moments to colour together really help with connection.
